"Which Way, Tulsa?" Scenarios & Surveys Rollout Event

Tuesday, May 12, 2009
6:00 - 7:00 p.m.
Doors open at 5:30
Cain's Ballroom, 423 N. Main

Public input from thousands of Tulsans has been gathered, processed, digitized, synthesized, and mapped. In other words – Tulsa spoke, we listened!  And we will continue to listen until we have new plan for all of Tulsa!

Using your ideas, the PLANiTULSA team has developed four different scenarios of how future growth in Tulsa would look. We used data gathered at public workshops, and through surveys and interviews conducted throughout the city. The resulting scenarios are visual representations of your input, including maps, photos, and sample building types. We as a community have a decision to make – which of these scenarios makes the most sense for our city?

We’re going to answer that question the best way we know how – by asking you to help decide! Beginning on May 12, and running through June 18th, you will have an opportunity to review the scenarios - developed with citizen inputs over the past year - and then share your opinions and insights by completing a survey, either paper or on-line. Rate different aspects of each scenario and offer suggestions. The results will form the foundation of Tulsa’s updated Comprehensive Plan.

How to get started? Join Mayor Taylor for the PLANiTULSA "Which Way, Tulsa?" event. Part pep rally, part social event, this is the kick-off of the month-long public survey process. There will be local food from Eloté Café and Catering and local music by Little Chairs at the historic Cain's Ballroom. Get a first-hand look at the four scenarios. Ask questions. Visit with friends. And hopefully you'll be motivated to spread the word throughout Tulsa! The goal is for 15,000 Tulsans to submit a survey. Help make that happen and help shape Tulsa's future!

The public survey period for "Which Way, Tulsa?" will run from May 12th through June 18th.  If you cannot attend the kick-off at Cain's, we STILL want your input.  Contact the PLANiTULSA Team for more information, 918.576-5684.
